Equity compensation
Equity compensation is pay in the form of ownership — shares, stock options, or similar — giving an employee a stake in the company's future value rather than only cash today.
Common at startups and scale-ups, where equity can be the largest part of a senior package. Its real value depends on the company's growth and the terms — vesting, strike price, and dilution.
